Lemon-aid and 1001 nights...

Lemon-aid - this is a lemon and white chocolate cheesecake cupcake, and the 'aid' part - they are for the lovely man who helped me solve my 'but I can't upload the software I need onto my new laptop as it hasn't got a CD drive' - he did something like hypnotise it to make it think it has a CD drive...
Here are the cakes...

1001 nights - these are pale pink rose scented cupcakes, with rose scented icing, sprinkled with crystallised rose petals.  Bit of a girlie-fest, for a friend who said they would be a good idea!  Both these and the lemon-aid ones have been iced with a palette knife in the Hummingbird Bakery stylee.

Ruby Wedding Cupcakes

A dozen cupcakes made for a family Ruby Wedding celebration. The cakes are Red Velvet - a variation on chocolate cake dyed red either with beetroot (which does go very well with chocolate - which I first experienced thanks to a friends recipe), or in the abscence of beetroot, with red food colouring. They are iced with a cream cheese icing mixture and topped with real ruby rose petals.
